Pipeline data can come in many formats; however, for use in MAEviz, the data must be in shapefile format and contain at a minimum, the pipe material type (e.g. cast-iron, pvc) and the diameter. Additional attributes such as joint type and soil type may be required, depending on which fragilities the user wants to assign to the pipeline data. A column for joint type and soil data are required to exist (even if they contain no information) because the schema for this type requires those columns to be present. If your dataset does not contain them, then they will need to be added before ingesting the pipeline dataset into MAEviz. Another useful field is the length field since this can be used to determine the number of repairs based on the repair rate. Below is a list of the fields required to be present in the dataset:
...
